In some cases children struggle with this even to ages as advanced as 10 years old and in rare cases even more. I estimate that, depending many factors (being one the native language) typical adults could take from 2 to 20 hours of active practice to learn the rr sound. | |

I've tried positioning it the same way as people say but it is the same result. Very stiff and no vibration or tiny movement but no sound. I force more air and nothing. Less air and nothing. I get the same result. I don't get what I am doing wrong. I tried the Q-tip method and that doesn't work. My tongue just cannot relax enough near the tip to vibrate. The air just escapes from the sides of my mouth with no trill r sound made. | |
